i've been reading this thread for ages... strange reading over a year of someone's life in an hour or so. but anyway it's good ****, your funny keep it up.
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Today one of my buddies gave a party. I went home when it was over and someone drove home with me who lived in the same town. I shouldn't be driving because I was drunk. Not smashed or anything, but just that little too much. And I knew it.
Anyway, as we drove along we talked a bit. I didn't know the guy so at one point in the conversation I asked his age. He told me he was 31, so I asked him if he was married. Then he told me he was gay. Let me pause here, the reason I posted here that I was drunk behind the wheel (something I'm definitely not proud of) is because otherwise I'd never asked the following questions.
I asked him why so many gay dudes try to hit on me. It is really true that a lot of gay dudes try to flirt with me, I seem to attract them. I told the guy that I was okay with all the gay sh*t and all, but that it totally wasn't my thing and that he should stay away from my ass. He told me I had a pretty face, a hot body, and especially my my mouth, because it would be perfect for sucking d*ck. After that information I felt like driving into a f*cking tree at full speed. Really, I'm scarred mentally forever now.
Well there I heard it again from the gay side this time, I am good looking. I'm also a great person. Why can't I get girls again...?
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
Thanks man! And remember, the only way to improve is to get out there.Snowdog,
I've really enjoyed reading this thread, you are an inspiration to all afc's like me who are in the process of starting to do sort their lives out, thanks a lot man!
Keep up the excellent posts.
Oh yeah, how exactly do you manage to cycle into a river?
holy ****! when I'm high I stop giving a ****, that's why I've been blazing for the past couple weeks nonstop. i stopped last night, but i'm still in the mindset. i went out tonight to see some hypnotist at a fundraiser and approached 3 very good looking chicks (7,7, and a 9) and i had absolutely no problem talking to them. i kept eye contact, smiled a lot, got them to laugh and smile, and i even tried some kino that worked surprisingly well i didn't # close, i should have, but i just knew it wouldn't work. it's seriously such a great feeling not giving a **** what others around you perceive you as.When i get drunk, i stop giving a ****. That's why i'm drunk all the time. I just realized how it feels to be like that all the time. Of course, i'm writing this while i'm ****ing hammered. But i'll get back to you soon enough to write about how much of this still works while i'm sober.
LOL. So are you saying people would regularly look @ you weird in the club when you dance? Ah well, everyone forgets about how ppl danced by the time last call comes around so no biggie, but that is kinda funny, lol.snowdog said:Part #2
We did some clubbing too. I still can't pickup girls in clubs, BUT, I sorta learned how to dance properly. I tried dancing and then some girl came up to me and said: "less arms, more hips" (an obvious IOI that I missed?). So I did just that. She gave me two thumbs up and I was on my way. I danced with that sh*t in mind the whole week and now I don't see people looking weird at me anymore when I dance in clubs. Also positive and important progress.
Lol. sounds like a great story and a blast man. Glad you had fun. Don't sweat the girl stuff you are making tons of progress, Just you tell yourself to relax and 'feel the love' it all makes sense, lol. just keep on keeping on.snowdog said:I survived. All kinds of other cool sh*t that week happened. We got ridicilously drunk and stoned a couple of times... I tried Xtc for the first time in my life (fun for one time, probably never again... not really my sh*t). And almost got beaten up by 10 angry rednecks and got saved by 10 other rednecks who were friendly. If I meet one of you guys in some bar sometime you'll definitely hear the stories haha.
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
lol thats a classic!snowdog said:I called her the next day, and the conversation went like this:
Her: hello?
Me: Hi there, you're speaking with one of those shady guys you sometimes encounter in your bar (we joked about this the day before)
Her: haha alright. How are you
Me: I'm excellent, and you?
Her: Yea, i'm fine
Me: I want to go out with you sometime, so how about it?
Her: Ehm... i should had told you this yesterday but...
(oh no, not another ***** who has a boyfriend who gives a number to me i thought)
Her: I kinda like girls.
Me (a bit confused):Eh... that's.... interesting.
Her: Yea, i shoulda told you
Me: So you're a lesbian
Her: yes
Me: To what degree? I mean truly 100% or maybe 95, 90...?
Her: More like 200%
From that point on the conversation wasn't that interesting anymore to put down here.
For ****s sake, am i cursed or something?
